Honey Garlic Pork Chops 蜜汁蒜子豬扒
I used pork chops with bone-in for this recipe. But you can also use ribs, pork butt or pork shoulder. Great for chicken wings too!
Approximate cost (CAD) $8
Ingredients
- 4 Pork chops , approx. 800g
- 6 cloves Garlic , chopped
- 5 tbsp Honey
- 6 tbsp Corn starch
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Oil for frying pork chops
- 1 tbsp Oil for frying garlic
Ingredients for pork marinade:
- 2 tsp Light soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1 tsp Shaoxing wine
- ¼ tsp White pepper powder
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
Instructions
- Absorb excess liquid and clean off any bone fragments on pork chops with a paper towel
- Mix 2 tsp light soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp Shaoxing wine, ¼ tsp white pepper powder and ¼ garlic powder in a large mixing bowl
- Cover both sides of each pork chop with the marinade and set aside
You can marinate for 30 minutes to 3 hours if you have time but 5 minutes works well too 
- Chop 6 cloves of garlic and set aside
- Add 6 tbsp of corn starch on a plate and cover each piece of pork chop with it. Set aside
- Heat a pan on medium-high heat and add 2 tbsp oil
- Place pork chops onto frying pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until brown
my pork chops were approx. 12mm thick and I fried each side for 2 minutes 
- Flip over and fry until done
best to use a meat thermometer but you can also try poking through it and if the juice runs clear, it should be done - Remove pork chops from pan and set aside
- Add 1 tbsp oil to the pan and fry garlic until aromatic and golden. Turn heat to low
- Add 5 tbsp honey and ½ tsp salt to the garlic and mix well
- Put the pork chops back into the pan and cover each with honey and garlic sauce. Turn heat off
- Serve
